Emily Howland notebook
Title:
Emily Howland notebook
Description:
The notebook primarily contains sporadic entries from 1899-07-14 to 1899-10-09, chronicling Howland's travels through Europe and voyage back to the United States. Remarking on the maintenance costs of a historic cathedral in England, Howland says "If that money and what is wasted on militarism could be wisely applied for the education of the people what a world this would quickly become. The world that has the power does not want those of fewer opportunities to have them." When discussing other passengers on the voyage, Howland expresses disapproval of a racist woman from South Carolina, saying "She and my friend Miss Purois [sp] have had some passages on the race question. She is not worth her ammunition. I think that the woman's talking shows that the Southern people feel that they must be always on the defence because they know that they are in the wrong." The notebook contains additional miscellaneous content, including an undated entry on anti-militarism and a list of names from 1903.

Suffragist portraits
Title:
Suffragist portraits
Description:
(a) Sculpture. The Dutch Parliament passed a law forbidding women to be employed at night work about 1908. Whereupon, the women employed in a textile factory where they had worked at night exchanged work with day working men who carried bricks to brick-layers. A sculptor made a marble piece showing a woman at such work, thus putting the law to ridicule. (b) Frau Marianne Hainisch, founder of the Austrian National Council of Women and its Hon. President. (c) Mrs. Louise Woods Beckman, an American woman who married a Swede and lived in Sweden most of her life. She joined the Swedish leaders in the suffrage movement. (d) Lady Battersea, daughter of Lord Rothschild, who dared to be a suffragist in England when the cause was young and much ridiculed.
